where can i watch fear 1996

You can watch the 1996 movie Fear (with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Wahlberg) on several legitimate streaming and digital platforms as of early 2026. Availability depends heavily on your country, so here are the main options and how to check them quickly.

Main streaming options

  • In the United States , Fear (1996) is currently available to stream with a subscription on Starz (including Starz add‑ons through services like Amazon and Roku). It is also available to rent or buy in HD on major digital stores such as Amazon Video , Apple TV , Google Play Movies/YouTube , Fandango at Home (Vudu) , and Microsoft Store.
  • In India , the film is available to stream on JioCinema/Hotstar (JioHotstar) and can be rented on Amazon Video.
  • In the UK , it is typically offered as a digital rental or purchase on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Google Play, Rakuten TV, Sky Store, Microsoft Store, and YouTube , but not usually included for free in the major subscription catalogs right now.
  • In many other countries (Europe, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America), it is widely available as a digital rental/purchase on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Google Play/YouTube, Microsoft Store, Rakuten TV, local services like Viaplay, Blockbuster, SF Anytime, etc. rather than in a flat‑rate subscription catalog.

There currently aren’t stable, global “watch for free with ads” options from the big legal platforms; when it pops up free, it tends to be tied to specific regional services or time‑limited rotations.

Quick way to find it in your region

Because catalogs change and are region‑locked, the easiest method is:

  1. Go to a “where to watch” aggregator (like JustWatch or a similar site in your country).
  2. Type in “Fear 1996” and confirm it’s the 1996 thriller with Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon.
  3. Check the “Streaming,” “Rent,” and “Buy” tabs to see:
    • Which subscription service (if any) includes it in your region.
    • The cheapest rental price (usually HD).
    • Whether a purchase (permanent digital copy) is only slightly more than a rental.

These sites are updated frequently and will reflect any shifts, like if it moves from Starz to another service or becomes temporarily free with ads.

Simple recommendation

If you just want to watch it once:

  • Look at rental options on Amazon, Apple TV, or Google Play/YouTube and pick the lowest price; they all carry the same cut of the film in HD in most regions.

If you’re in a country where Starz (or a similar movie‑channel subscription) includes Fear :

  • Start a trial or one‑month sub , watch Fear and anything else from their 90s thriller catalog, then cancel if you don’t want to keep it.

TL;DR: Fear (1996) is not on a single universal service everywhere, but in most places you can rent or buy it on Apple TV, Amazon Video, Google Play/YouTube, and similar stores , and in the US it’s currently included with a Starz subscription.
